Shinies are worthless. Most of them have terrible natures, bad IVs, the wrong ability and none of them can recieve egg moves without being bred. They are honestly the dumbest things alive, and why people care is beyond me. Sure, they are valuable, but that's it. It's just for bragging, which of course everyone loves. So instead, I use these handy shinies to trade, as IDC about them and people worship them like they're gods or something despite the huge amount of flaws they get. Seems like a waste to me.
